    Mayes new.qxd 12/12/2003 2:18 PM Page 15 Localising National Identity: Albany’s Anzacs Robyn Mayes Local representations of the significance of Albany, Western Australia, in the first world war and of the city’s part in the birth of Anzac register substantial points of departure from national histories. While both the Anzac mythos and official renderings of Australia’s wars are vigorously contested, Albany’s reformulation offers a clear example of the ways in which communities actively inflect national narratives to create expressions of differentiated local identity. This article explores the relationship between the national and the local by focusing on the local narrative of the massing and departure of ‘The Great Anzac Convoy’ in King George Sound in 1914. Particular attention is given to the way Albany has been able to appropriate and localise this event and the origins of Anzac, consequently promoting itself as an important element of the national identity, from which it nevertheless remains distinct. This localisation of an important element of national identity confers cultural standing and a potentially empowered position in relation to this national identity. Locating cultural identity: from nation to local community The concept of nation as an overarching framework of social and cultural identity is increasingly being challenged. As a monoglossic structure, the nation is built upon the extensive repression of difference necessary to create the pretence of a stable and homogenous national group.1 Zygmunt Bauman suggests that the universalism that enabled the nation-state also made identities too ‘nebulous, immaterial and weightless for comfort, not to mention security’.2 Similarly, Desmond Morris takes the position that national groupings are too large for ‘meaningful’ identification.3 Nation as a primary frame of collective identity is eroded by a contemporary strengthening of smaller-scale allegiances and local identities.

All eyes will be on Albany for the Anzac Centenary. A range of significant commemorative events are planned between October 30 and November 2, many of which will be televised nationally by ABC.
